It’s hard to say if this is about minutes (time) or something else, hopefully we can keep these guys together.

Unfortunately he hasnt looked good in the minutes he received this year. His offense hasn't been good either.

Willy is a huge presence in the locker room, if he’s unhappy you may start seeing a rift. That’s why something like this could be a big deal

Agreed. BILLY and Jose kinda started the good vibes feel of this team.

I would take Haye's 5-7 minutes and give them to Billy in a second. However, neither are rotational players with this team.

Willy can't play the 4. You would have to take minutes from JV or Nance to play him. That's not ideal.

Neither can Hayes.

I feel Willy is more important to the team than Hayes as he is the true backup to Jonas; however, we are talking minimal minutes regardless.

His tweet three minutes before that one was something about soccer (which I can't quite figure out). I expect this tweet is also about soccer.

I feel 99% sure that this isn't Willy complaining about his minutes. That's not something that he does. And no one ever complains about their minutes after wins -- it's almost always after losses.

Problem is the team doesn't have the end of the bench players like most teams.

Only player like that is Temple. Most teams have like three players who only play due to injury.

He should 100% take Hayes minutes

CJ made a comment about Willy needing to keep his head up in the postgame.

I seriously doubt it. I think he’s saying it’s only a matter of time until we take over the league or something. Even when he wasn’t getting minutes last year the guys always said he was the most positive on the team

I'm going full on Zapruder film here, but if you go back and watch the highlights, Billy isn't really celebrating any of our baskets. Very subdued.

I don't know if Willy is complaining about minutes, but all of his fans who are commenting on his tweet are complaining about his minutes. I'm sure he reads the comments and is not correcting them.

More or Less = "I don't know who your agent is, but the first thing he has to do is call Gayle Benson and tell her to respect the MVP of Eurobasket. Play or Trade."

I like having Willy around, but if he wants to play more, I’m sure the team will respect that and trade him
